Tube light in Salon 120V or 12V?
Posted: Wed May 31, 2023 7:36 pm
Greetings,
I have a 10M Express with original 36" T8 tube light on port and starboard in salon. The starboard side does not work. I assume it was the original tube light because it was extremely difficult to remove to the point I thought it might shatter as I attempted to rotate it for removal. I finally was able to remove it but it is so worn I cannot read any specs on it. There appears to be a ballast system attached to the lamp fixture. Does the ballast convert 12V to 120V to accommodate a standard T8 tube light or does this fixture call for a 12V RV/Marine light tube?
Thanks in advance
